Chapter 146

With the appearance of the enemy, dawn city immediately moved. First, 5000 spearmen set up a defense array in front of the city gate. All enemies trying to enter from the city gate will be ruthlessly slaughtered by them. These soldiers who are proficient in fighting spirit are the elite of the Empire and are not afraid of any enemy.

Originally... If the Mongolian Knight were there, the spearmen would guard the door, and the Mongolian Knight would rush back and forth within the city wall, which would definitely kill all the invading enemies. But now, the Mongolian war animals are in a state of evolution, and the Mongolian knight is now disabled and can't give full play to his strength.

Looking at the ten mile long line of the city wall, Suoga couldn't help laughing bitterly. He could only send all the slave soldiers to the front of the city wall. Even if there were no weapons, he could hit them with stones all over the ground. Suoga believed that it was much more powerful than letting them be cannon fodder.

At present, 40000 regular slave soldiers have taken up arms and armed with armor. Although they are not good at battlefield operations, they have been in battle for a long time and are not afraid of fighting. Everyone held their breath and waited for the beginning of the battle.

Outside the dawn City, the bandit coalition forces are still gathering rapidly, and the number soon reached 100000. Looking at it, it is dark and the whole field seems to be covered.

Looking at the direction of the horizon, Soga was secretly worried, from the current situation; The number of enemy and our soldiers seems to be the same. There are 100000 troops at dawn and 100000 thieves outside the city. Just don't forget that there are 60000 slave soldiers who go to the battlefield naked. The only weapon is the stone in their hands!

In contrast, the bandit allied forces outside the city are different. Although they can't be said to be elite, they are all wearing neat armor and holding bright weapons. These are the current slave soldiers, which can't be compared in any case. Although the battle hasn't started yet, the other party seems to have won the battle.

However, Soga knew that they also had a place to show their calculation, that is, 40000 regular slave soldiers, but only those 10000 knights wearing armor and holding spears, bows and swords and shields in their hands could not play a role because they had no relationship with horses, but their steel armor and blades were enough to compare with elite soldiers.

Looking at the dark bandit coalition in the sky, Soga knows that he must survive this battle. When the other party starts, he will certainly make a tentative attack. Once the dawn force is determined, he will press on the whole line. If he can't give the other party a painful blow at this time, I'm afraid the consequences of this battle are worrying!

While thinking, Soga flashed in his mind and preached loudly: "keep the order, 40000 regular slave armies, all hide in the building near the city wall, take the alarm bell as the signal, array the impact, the alarm bell doesn't ring, no one can rush out, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

With Soga's order, 40000 regular slave soldiers quickly retreated into the buildings close to the city wall. At the same time, in the direction outside the city, the first batch of thieves had launched a tentative attack. Looking at the rapidly approaching thieves, Soga roared: "soldiers, no matter what, we must resist this wave of attack, pick up stones and hit me hard!"

Hearing Soga's order, although I don't know what arrangements Soga has, all the slave soldiers know that this is not the time to retreat. The so-called extending the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. If you rush up bravely, there may be a way to live. The more you retreat on the battlefield, the faster you die!

For a time, all the slave ice picked up the big stones in their heads and quickly reached the top of the city wall, ready to attack the thieves outside the city at any time.

Soon, the thieves' allied army rushed under the city wall. Looking around, although these thieves were wearing leather armor and crazy about sharp blades, they could see at a glance that the leather armor was in tattered condition and the weapons were cut with blades. Obviously, there were slave soldiers in the thieves' army to test the enemy's reality and act as cannon fodder. It was not slave soldiers.

The city wall of dawn city is actually a large pile of stones, four or five meters high and inclined at about 60 degrees. You can directly rush up the city wall by stepping on the rocks. At this time... What needs to be tested is the strength of defense. As long as you retreat a little, the enemy will rush up the city wall. Then... A steady stream of enemies will pour in, and dawn city will fall.

Finally, after a little hesitation, all the thieves began to climb towards the city wall along the slightly steep stone slope. Seeing this scene, general Jason finally gave the order.

"Control... Control! Control! " With general Jason's long cry, more than a dozen strange messenger soldiers who were bored and big shouted at the same time. Then, 60000 slave soldiers who heard the cry straightened their voices and shouted crazily, holding stones one after another and emerging crazily on the wall.

For a time, all the thieves were shocked to find that there were dense figures on the long wall. In the arms of each figure, they held head sized stones and stared at them from a commanding position, looking like they would fall at any time.

"Fa... FA! Hair! " At the next moment, the voices of general Jason and the heralds sounded again in turn. When they heard the sound, all the slave soldiers shouted in unison and attacked the thieves under the wall, smashing the stones in their hands with all their strength.

On the ten mile, ten thousand meter (LiDang kilometer here), the first ten thousand slaves smashed the stones in their hands, and then turned and left the wall. Behind them, the second slave soldier just came out and smashed the stones out with all his strength, followed by the third and fourth

The city wall is ten thousand meters long. Every meter of the city wall, there are six slave soldiers. They go up the city wall in turn, throw down the stones in their hands, then turn down the city wall and continue to hold the stones. In the past few weeks, they have mined enough stones to hit them for a week!

Without interruption, the slave soldiers near the city wall were smashed one after another in the flying of stone rain powder. Only those who were a little far away were spared. For a time, in the face of such a dense stone rain, all the thieves retreated, which was more terrible than the earth magic - torch stone purgatory.

In this way, on the 10000 meter long city wall and in front of the city wall, the bandit army threw down the bodies of more than 40000 bandit soldiers and withdrew back. Due to the lack of long-range attack ability, the loss was very huge. As soon as it was contacted, 40% of the troops were damaged! This was something the rogue army never expected.

In fact, not only the bandit army, but also the initiator of the plan, Soga, and general Jason, did not expect this result. In the first world war just now, there were no casualties in dawn city. Only more than 100 slave soldiers fell off the city wall because they lost their balance and were slightly injured. So far, no one has left the battlefield because of injury.

After such a big loss, the commander-in-chief of the thieves' coalition army probably felt very ashamed. At the branch of the thieves' army, a group of vigorous thieves wearing yellow thieves' Leather Armor appeared. Soon after making up the array, they killed the murderous dawn.

Looking at the bandit army in the distance, general Jason changed his face and shouted, "it's a bad thing. This is the locust bandit army. They all hold crossbows and can kill the enemy within 50 steps. In this way, once the slave soldiers appear on the wall, they will die“

"Crossbow!" Hearing Jason's words, Soga couldn't help turning pale. Looking at the 20000 locusts, Soga couldn't help biting his teeth. Now, he can't hide. It's time to be serious.

Thinking, Suo Da Sheng said, "ring the alarm immediately and order the sword shield soldiers and long bow soldiers to come out immediately and go to the city wall to meet the enemy. As long as we eliminate the locust thieves, we will win!"

Hearing Soga's words, general Jason was stunned at first. Then he patted his head with joy and said with a smile: "look at me, I forgot that we still have 40000 troops, especially the longbowmen. Although the accuracy is not good, the range has reached 200 steps, which can definitely suppress these locust thieves. After all... The range of the crossbow, Only 50 meters! "

With the roaring alarm, countless regular slave soldiers poured out of the buildings beside the city wall one after another. According to the orders of the heralds, they went up to the city wall one after another and set up a defense formation according to the usual training.

The so-called defensive formation is that the sword and shield soldiers are in front, ready to cover the arrow rain at any time, and attack the enemy climbing up the wall from the gap between the shields.

Behind the sword shield soldiers, there are spearmen with four and a half meters long spears. Before coming into close contact with the sword shield ice, the thief army must first avoid the stabbing of the spear. Don't want to get close without assisting the heavy price!

Behind the spearmen are 10000 longbowmen. After several weeks of training, these guys are amazing. Although they can't accurately hit a single enemy, they can accurately shoot arrows in a fixed area. This area can be accurate to 10 meters.

Just after the formation was set up, the locust thieves swarmed near the city. They kept estimating the position of the locust thief army, and finally... General Jason issued an order again.

"Control... Control! Control! " With Jason, the herald and 10000 longbowmen shouting, the longbowmen hiding in the back row stood up one after another. Between the creaking sound, the longbow was full of strings and aimed at the enemy who had entered the range of 100 meters outside the city!

On the tower, general Jason said loudly, "target 100 steps, send!"

As soon as general Jason's words fell, ten heralds shouted at the same time. Ten thick voices roared on the whole battlefield along the iron trumpet in their hands: "target 100 steps, send!"

After receiving the order, tens of thousands of longbowmen spewed up at the same time. When they shouted loudly, as soon as their fingers loosened, 10000 sharp arrows roared away from the bowstring. In a buzzing sound, for only a moment, all the thieves fell down collectively within 10090 meters in front of the city wall. Although there was no accuracy, the arrows were too dense after all. There was no way to hide under the arrow rain.

Seeing the sudden arrow rain, all the locust thieves were stunned. In such a daze, general Jason's voice rang again: "target 90 steps, send!"

With general Jason's order, the arrow rain appeared again. Under the dense arrow rain, locust thieves fell in pieces. No one can stand in such a dense arrow rain, even Soga.

Seeing this scene, the locust thieves finally woke up, turned around and wanted to escape, but they woke up too late. You know, all the locust armies have entered the range of 200 steps in front of the city wall, and this is the best range of the dawn Longbow!

"Target 180 steps... Send!" General Jason's voice roared up like a raging wave. With general Jason's voice, tens of thousands of sharp arrows roared across the sky of the locust bandit army. All the locust bandits only felt that the sky was dark. Then... Behind them, there was a bleak and tragic cry to the limit. When they turned around, they saw the locust bandit in the last place, Pieces fell down.

Seeing this scene, the locust bandit army hurried back to the direction of the city wall. Everyone didn't want to accept the arrow rain. It couldn't be hard connected, but... Before they took a few steps back, another arrow rain fell 80 steps in front of the city wall with the command of general Jason, and a lot of thieves fell unwilling.

In this way, the 20000 locust thieves were driven forward and backward by general Jason, just like a group of pigs. The last one failed to run out. All the 20000 thieves were dead on the spot, and the blood dyed the land in front of the city red.

In the distance, the commander-in-chief of the bandit coalition army's camp was pale. He didn't expect that dawn city suddenly had Longbow soldiers. It's terrible. What's the matter?

As we all know, thieves don't use shields and wear light leather armor. Generally, they take close assassination as the main means of attack. Their defense is weak enough to be ignored. The only long-range attack is the crossbow. However, you know, the crossbow is small and has a short range of only 50 steps. In front of the long archers, they can't do anything except being slaughtered.

Looking at the dawn wall that has been completely stained with blood, the commander in chief of the thieves' coalition army looks like earth. It has only been an hour since the war began, but he has lost 60000 troops. It's OK for the 40000 slave soldiers in front to say, but the 20000 locust thieves are the elite of the thieves!

The leader of the Allied forces knew that originally... He would not have been defeated so miserably. This time, he failed in the wrong evaluation of the enemy. He did not expect that there were so many archers in dawning City, which has always only spearmen and mengma knights. For thieves, they can't charge in front of the archers. It's like looking for death.

"Bang!" The Allied Commander knew that the other side was too cunning. If the other side sent long bow soldiers at the beginning, the war situation would not be so ruined. To his dismay, the other side obviously had long bow soldiers, but he didn't use them. He didn't go out until the emergence of the locust army. These 20000 thief elites died in vain. It was a mistake in command, It's the result of being calculated by the commander.

In fact, although thieves can't use shields, they still bring shield carts this time. The so-called shield cart is to install a huge shield platoon on on a cart. Thieves can hide behind the shield and avoid the rain of arrows, but the shield can only block arrows, but it can't block stones. Obviously, the range of stones is lower than that of crossbows, That's why he sent a locust bandit army. If he knew there were longbowmen, the current war situation might be reversed.

As long as the Longbowman is sealed, and then behind the shield car, use the crossbow to snipe the slave stone throwers. After the stone throwers are eliminated, the Longbowman is not afraid. As long as he rushes up the wall along the ramp, the dawn fortress can fight down.

But now, although there are still 40000 rogue troops left, the coalition commander knows that this battle has been completely defeated. You know, up to now, the other party has not been damaged. On the side of the rogue army, there are only 10000 shield vehicle soldiers, 10000 stealth soldiers and 20000 conventional soldiers left. They don't have the ability of long-range attack. If they rush over like this, It wasn't a fight, it was suicide.

"Shit..." with a fierce curse, the coalition commander shouted: "everyone pay attention, retreat immediately, the shield car soldiers are behind, ready to intercept the mengma Knight!"

At the command of the main general, all the thieves immediately turned around in place. The rear team changed to the front team and rushed over on the way. At the same time, 10000 shield chariot soldiers had supported the shield chariot in place. They knew that this time, they were afraid to become victims. In order to cover the retreat of the large forces, they had to be sacrificed.

Looking at the 10000 shield soldiers hiding behind the shield car, the eyes of the coalition commander couldn't help flashing crystal tears. He knew that... Under the bombardment of the mengma knight, none of them would want to leave alive, but their sacrifice was not in vain, because... They will come back. Dawn city must be taken down!

In the past, the bandit army did not dare to attack dawn City, because it was tantamount to fighting against the Shengguang empire. They did not have such great energy, but they knew that now dawn is no longer an imperial border, but a private fief of Soga. In this way, no one can say anything when attacking.

Once such a city is occupied, the thieves alliance will have a dangerous base. After several years of development, it is absolutely infinite terror. The most important thing is that the location here is connected with the public areas of the six countries outside. As long as the operation is good, it is a burst of money!

Seeing that the bandit army in the distance withdrew quickly, Soga smiled bitterly. If the mengma knight was still there, none of them would want to run. But now, the mounts of the mengma Knight are evolving, so we can only watch them run away. At the speed of the thieves, we can't catch up with them.

Finally, all the thieves withdrew, including the 10000 shield chariots. When they returned to the bandit army station, the coalition commander was greatly surprised. He didn't understand why the mengma army didn't pursue? After a little thought, he got a wrong message. After all, mengma Legion is the strongest legion of the Empire. It must have been taken away by the Empire. How can such a powerful armed force be given to private people?
